My ex was friends with the guy I was going to marry until a drunk driver took his life. He was there for me through all of the sorrow, and heartache I was going through. He just kinda kept hanging around for a long time, then he disappeared for 2 months. (he is a fire fighter, and at that time, he was also with the forest service, and got called out of state. They weren't allowed to call anyone to let them know what was going on)
When he got back, I knew I had fallen in love with him. He told me first, and we dated for about 6 months, then got married.
It didn't work out, but he will always be the love of my life. I have not dated anyone since we broke up.

When, after dating for a while, The Man didn't call for a couple of weeks (he was playing it cool) and I actually cared--I was PISSED. HAHA! SO not me. I don't get a attached easily (too much moving around when I was a military brat), and usually I couldn't care one way or another if a date ever called again--I just moved on. This time I not only cared enough to get mad, I hung up on him when he finally did call. Luckily, he cared enough to try again :nrvs:25 years and 4 kids later, here we are :)

I never figured out Love. I would be bereft if my sweetie left me or died and I am happy when I am around her. She makes me angry sometimes as well, but the anger would never be greater than my need to have her in my life. The longer we're together the stronger the link between us grows. Love seems to encompass all the emotions including hate, bliss, anger, joy, jealousy, happiness, so I can't understand what Love actually means. I just noticed I capitalized the word Love, but not the other emotions I listed. I guess I consider it very important, even though I don't know exactly what it is.
